Hi,

I'm at the stage in a very slooow build where I need to think about chassis stiffening.. I'll do the regular GT kit but I don't know whether to do either or both the Inner Long Kit and Roll Cage.

The long term plan is to fit a Suby 3.0 N/A and use it for mainly street but also hill-climbs/sprints/autoX here in the UK...

Any thoughts or advice?

Thanks, Ollie.

Thanks for the input Andrew, helps alot. Think I'll hold off on the roll cage at this stage and just go for the inner long kit..
